Day 31 - Sunday

Day 30 - Grinnin' Face

Brilliant isn't it.

Day 29.5 - No Music

Day 29 - I'm whizzed Off!

Day 28 - The Finger

Day 27 - Stab In The Back

Now, theres a question. I use the Valeton mainly at the moment. Its tiny and sound identical to a Boss OC-2. However, I'm a bit of a hoarder of Octave pedals and have a selection of them from classic to modern. For me the highlights include the 80's Pearl Octaver, and original Boss 'Octaver' OC-2, Foxrox Octron 2, EBS Octabass, MXR BOD. These are all great in their own way and cover the analog octave down nicely.

Day 26 - You'll Be In My Heart

Day 24 - Story & Cruel Twist

Day 23 - A Little Lyle

Day 22 - Sussudio

Day 21 - Another story & joke.

Stumbled across this brilliant lesson the other day on the topic of walking bass line construction. I've been playing walking basslines for years but this explored some new ideas. It has a deceptively difficult exercise at the end which I've been trying to employ. Should keep you all busy for a while.

Day 20 - Another story & joke.

I still have his book:

Day 18 - More Gear

Thanks for posting, you beat me to it.

I can hear digital artefacts, a sort of buzzy, fizzy quality on the XT compared to the HD amp models. For me the HD was a giant leap forward for both the effects and the amp models. I still really rate the HD500x and use it all the time.

Yeah, you can definitely hear the difference between the POD XT pro and the HD500X. Less so between Helix and HD500X for my money. Helix still wins though.

My pleasure, there are loads I don’t know on here but there are also many cool YouTube clips I’ve watched written out for you to learn.

Just found this great resource online, scrolling transcriptions from the sublime to the ridiculous: https://www.soundslice.com/playlists/RjjjW/

Day 18 - One More Night

I use IReal book too, but I’m partly using my physical real book to force me to transpose on the fly. All too often on a gig (remember those?) I had or was given a chart in the wrong key and had to grit my teeth and focus.
